Wall plate for use in conjunction with gang box and keystones. Use appropriate keystones to create a nicely finished, professionally installed look for Ethernet networks or Home Theater interconnects. Eliminate that cluster of wires and hide them behind a wall.

The keystones are so close you cannot actually put two cat6 jacks side by side. Unless you're using these for RCA jacks or maybe speaker binding posts stay away.

by Monoprice AdministratorHello,

Thank you for your feedback and truly sorry to hear about the issues experienced with PID 6838. Please keep in mind that the following is noted in the description:

* Some keystone ports will not fit next to each other when using modular RCA flush type keystones, RJ12 and RJ45 keystone inserts.

For this wall plate, I recommend trying our coupler type keystones instead as they are a bit slimmer than our punch down keystones and fit better side-by-side. PID 7303 for example (we do not offer this type in ivory, unfortunately):

However, if truly dissatisfied, I can help setup a return for PID 6838. If you wish to proceed with the return, just let me know and I can get that started right away. Thank you!

Regards, Gabby VillaTech Support Associate

Looks nice if it only worked!

Pros: Looks nice if you can use it!

Cons: Doesn't work with Ethernet Keystones!!! They are just to large, more likely this 12 port plate was designed wrong!!!

I should have looked at the comments before hand, but like others have said, the Ethernet Keystones I got here, (Cat6 version) and I'm sure the others also, Don't Fit in this. They are to large in size and won't fit side by side at all. This is what I was going to use myself until I ran into this problem. It'll work for COAX or Speaker type Keystones are they're smaller, but otherwise you're out of luck. Of course I had already cut my hole in the wall and installed the low power box.

My Solution, though not quite as pretty was to get 2 of the 6 port single hole covers, then I cut a small bit of the side on one side of one, and the other side of the other. That way the cut sides are next to each other and screwed those two plates onto the Box flat. You can't see it because it's behind my A/V rack anyway but it works! I used a Dremel to cut mine. Of course it needs to be a nice straight cut and just the right amount so it'll mount flat and not overlap, but also not leave a Gap in the middle!!! This was my solution to the problem for now! The 6 port single cover plate ports are spaced further apart then the dual 6 plate 12 port cover! You can see this looking at the pictures here! Why it was done the way it was?!?!?! Someone really wasn't thinking!

I did try Modifying the 12 Port Plate but it just didn't work out at all. I threw it away. At least it didn't cost much. Monoprice.com does have some great prices. Using a number of keystones and Keystone plates around my house, allowed me to use a Single 24 Port Switch. Actually the Monoprice 10/100/1000 24 port switch. That way I don't need a number of small switches in all my rooms, just the one larger switch in my Closet! Then I just plug whatever I need into one of my Keystone ports!!! It's a great setup. I got most everything here at Monoprice! CAT6 cable is cheap, got a 1000 foot roll and went to town under my house! Ketstones are a snap to wire up, just match the wires to the color chart on the keystone. Use the special took to install the wires and cut them all at once as you go!

Wont fit RJ 45 keystones - any

Pros: 12 ports, not sure what does fit

Cons: Wont fit rj 45 keystone. The site disclaimer says some, their tech support says all, the site even shows a RJ45 keystone as a related item even though they don't fit.

disappointed. I have 2- 2 gang holes cut in my walls and these are not going to work.

by Monoprice AdministratorHello,

Sorry about the issues you ran into with the keystones not fitting side by side. This is something our Product Team is working on improving. We do have other 2 gang plates that house all the keystones but they would be 6 hole plates. I have posted a link below just in case.

If you like and the current keystone plates just aren't going to work for you I can issue an RMA for a return. I would just need an order number to get the process started. Again my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Sincerely

Poor Man's Patch Panel

Pros: Inexpensive, high density.

Cons: None.

If you are going to use this for a patch panel, choose the punch-down jacks over the tooless design and they will fit side-by-side (tightly). They're just as easy to wire. Realize that there is only one direction that the jacks will snap into place. You'll have to figure out the direction yourself as it isn't marked. Also, the jacks pivot into place so the order you snap them in will make your job easy or impossible.

Doesn't work with ethernet keystones

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Spacing too tight

As others mentioned, if you're planning to use this with ethernet keystones (at least the ones sold on MP), keep looking. The ports are too narrow to insert them side by side.
